Crowns and Pawns by LizzieStars

This is the story of one whose destiny was predetermined. This is the story of one who was the victim of circumstance. A victim of a past that was not his own. He learned early to keep his head down, his mouth shut, his eyes up, and his ears open. He learned when to bite his gold and when to not look a gift horse in the mouth. He learned to judge malice from goodness. But nothing could have prepared him for what fate deigned to gift him. Another world; magic; plagues; blood and fire; royalty; and at every corner, lies. Jesse will need more than just power. He will need more than just skills and abilities. He will need help... and contacts. But in this game, who is trustworthy? And who is not? For one whose crime was to be born, to survive is to win.

Drawn by its secrets, she solves an ancient riddle, unlocking a portal to a forgotten realm brimming with magical artifacts and wisdom. Absorbing the knowledge within, Elara transforms, becoming the keeper of an enchanted world that merges with her very being. But with great power comes a price-Elara can no longer return to the life she once knew. The jungle that holds the heart of this new world whispers secrets, guiding her toward an amulet that grants her dominion over nature itself. As she grapples with her new identity, Elara must leave her sanctuary to forge her presence in the outer world, where the ancient forest she now embodies once stood. Without an identity or allies, she must carve out a path in a world unfamiliar with her power. With the weight of two worlds resting on her shoulders, Elara's journey is only beginning. As she navigates through the mysteries of her newfound existence, she must decide how to balance her divine connection with the natural world and her place in the outer world-before both slip beyond her grasp.

Veil Of Destiny by RellidNolyaj

Elara Ravenscroft has always known she was different. Drawn to the mysteries of the world, she can sense magic in the air, a hum of power that others seem oblivious to. Haunted by dreams of a place bathed in silver light and a voice that calls to her, Elara refuses to accept the ordinary life laid out before her. When she discovers an ancient, glowing book hidden in her late grandmother's attic, Elara's destiny is set in motion. Guided by the book's cryptic symbols, she ventures into the Forest of Shadows-a place of legend, where few dare to tread and none return. But what Elara finds is far beyond anything she could have imagined: a gateway to the realm of the Fae, a world where time stands still and magic reigns supreme. On the other side of the Veil, Elara is thrust into a breathtaking yet perilous world, where a mysterious figure with golden eyes awaits her. He claims to know her name and the destiny that ties her to this enchanted realm. With the veil between worlds thinning and a great danger looming, Elara must uncover the truth about her heritage and the ancient powers stirring within her. In a land where myths come to life and the line between ally and enemy blurs, Elara will discover that her fate is entwined with the very forces that shape this world. But with power comes a price, and as Elara delves deeper into the secrets of the Fae, she must decide whether she is willing to pay it.

Light Eternal by Caeweth92

The realm of the fairy's, a world alien to mortals, filled with beings of legends and folklore. It is a land only a hairs breadth away from earth, yet completely unreachable. It is a word of strange and seemingly inconsistent rules, governed by magic and its unpredictable nature. Fairies of all types reside in this world, each specializing in different magic, ranging from the most basic elemental magic, to shape shifting, and even traveling between worlds. Within this world is a forest so deep and dark, it is named Forest of the Eternal Night. It is home to dangerous beasts and monsters of myth, yet within the deepest darkest reaches live the beautiful Night Fae: Talented tailors, dream weavers, and master artisans. Each bears a different color moonstone embedded in their chest, which supplies their powerful magic. Along side each Night Fae exists a spider familiar, a creature whom converts dream energy into the finest silk imaginable.
